THE 2T- Updated w/ new Quick Bricks

[user 135]

I started building up the Tornado I found here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6248

I was planning on putting a Sweetheart Skiptooth on but the rear hub was causing problems and I came across a Red Band Kickback. So I laced it into a rim(first bike with matching rims). Still going to make some changes but this is good for now.

This is what I bought.

New rims, tires, fork

After I ground my stem to fit, I love em too for the price. The spring seem stiff though.

I still might paint the fork but part of me likens the red fork to Rudolph :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I like the fork red... it gives the bike some flare without taking away from the simplicity. It's your bike though so as always make what you want to ride.

The red will stay. I am going to remove the front wheel reflector.

Re: THE 2T

Haven't done much to this besides riding it. The 2spd kickback is nice. I bought some Felt Quick Bricks from Leobikes(member). The pictures don't justice on the difference of how the bike looks now. The Quick Bricks give it a faster, hotrod look more than the old cruiser tires did. I think the rounder profile of them does this. The Quick Bricks still don't look as good as they do on wider rims, but they ride good.

Those Quick Bricks do look nice.

Any thought of painting those forks black?

The red has grown on me for now. I will leave the Black bikes too you for now.

I eventually want to order some wide rims to really try out the tires. Like these if they were cheaper.
